Tucson Myofilament Meeting, May 23-26

The Tucson Myofilament Meeting is an international 3.5-day Sarver Heart Center conference that brings together approximately 250 scientists focused on the structure and function of the myofilaments that comprise the contractile machinery of muscle. Spanning topics from molecular biophysics to heart and skeletal muscle disease mechanisms and drug development, the meeting is known for its highly interactive, collaborative, and informal atmosphere, with strong engagement of early career investigators.

Traditionally held biennially at the University of Wisconsin, the meeting will continue at the University of Arizona beginning in May 2026, offering a distinctive Tucson setting that fosters scientific exchange and community building.

Understanding Micro (and Macro) Aggressions at Work

This presentation will use humor, multimedia approaches, personal examples and current research to define, recognize and respond to micro- and macro-aggressions in the context of work environments. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, share their own experiences, and engage in brief activities that aim to build consciousness and create strategies toward addressing micro-aggressions. How to be an ally to marginalized and underrepresented folks who experience higher instances of micro-aggression will also be covered.
